"She was a star and a true lady, and she will be missed greatly," Spelling told People. "People everywhere knew her by name. I loved when fans wanted her over me. I felt proud!"

"I'm devastated," Spelling told People. "I'm convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us."

"She was not just a dog, but a fashion icon and legend amongst Hollywood dogs," Spelling added. "She received fan e-mail on a regular basis, and I often joked she got sent more designer & than me! She was a loving pet and a true diva to the end."

    I cannot believe Mimi is gone!!!! I will think of her fondly as I watch your show! Our family lost a beloved dog and cat within 2 months of each other this past year and it was devestating!

    I mourn every Made-for-TV Movie she is in. Thanks to Daddie, she gets these roles...certainly not for talent or looks.

    I'm sorry for her loss. Its hard to loose a pet. They are a big part of your family. To some they are their kids.

    losing a pet that was also your bff is truly heartbraking, but i did notice that tori kept saying the dog got more attention than HER. the dog never SOUGHT ATTENTION unlike her mistress. TORI STILL SUCKS but may mimi larue's spirit go on and on.
